It's the placebo effect. If you believe it will work, it will work.

It's certainly possible as the studies were only on mice so far, but
there is plenty of anecdotal evidence of fat burning properties.
Figured it was worth a try. The only thing in it I can see that might
have any side effects would be the caffeine they add.

I'm not knocking it, Cheryl. What works, works.

You bought a product with other ingredients? Next time you should buy
the pure stuff and cap it up yourself with 00 or 000 gel caps. You
can get it on Amazon. Caffeine is good anyway though.

It came from Amazon. I couldn't find any that was just RK. I'll have to
look.

I put a tiny bit into my mixed drink. It's funny. The stuff has
almost no odor or taste, but if you put 1/8 t into 2 shots of vodka,
you can make two tall drinks that are noticeably raspberry flavored.
I've been making a salve for massaging onto my wife's nearly hairless
head, and she's sprouted hair far sooner than was expected. I gave
some to a woman who has a daughter with alopecia today.

I'm glad it's helping her hair. As for the raspberry taste, I softly
belch raspberry for a little while after ingesting the capsule. Not
unpleasant. I've had to stop all supplements for a while because I was
feeling like shit and didn't know what was causing it so went to a very
basic diet of liquids and a whole lot of water. I'll try it again this
week.
